Bardstown, KY

I arrived in Bardstown late in the day after winding my way through Mammoth Cave and Lincoln’s birthplace. The town’s old stone buildings, bourbon-scented air, and deep musical roots made it an unexpected highlight of my Kentucky travels. From the Stephen Foster House to the Old Talbott Tavern, Bardstown feels like the kind of place where history and hospitality still live side by side.
